The environmental impact of AI is a growing concern. In this episode, Sherrell sits down with Juan M. Lavista Ferres, the Chief Scientist and Lab Director of Microsoft’s AI for Good Research Lab, to discuss his work in using AI for conservation and sustainability. Whether it’s using AI to measure methane gas leaks or allowing AI to optimize healthcare procedures at reduced costs, Juan argues AI technology can advance conservation efforts and increase accessibility. Sherrell and Juan also discuss the paradox of AI—how to use the technology responsibly and avoid contributing more damage to the environment.This is episode two of a four-part series airing this month on TED Tech, where host and climate tech journalist Sherrell Dorsey is in conversation with TED 2025 Countdown Summit speakers on the technology that can lead to a greener and more equitable future.<hr> Hosted on Acast.
